Thanks for the answer however, I didn't ask for a different protection
configuration. I've almost everything AND ZoneAlarm.

I just asked the reason why the computer tried to answer to the massive
attempts, after the IP address was changed.
In fact, was a process started before I changed the IP address, what could
it be ?
The objective is to understand the mechanism in order to kill it.

Bye
